    Hope your trip to NB is wonderful when it comes round Beanie. :D Was at a family wedding there a couple of years ago, but sadly didn't get time to wander around much.

    Gahhhh now I'm hankering for Luca's ice cream... :drool: I must be strong!!!

    After I logged off last night I watched a bit of Countryfile and there was a Luca's van in it!!!! Think it was a posh one they roll out for events. The presenter got a double cone and she had to guess the flavour - one was tablet which might be your new favourite Beanie :D. The other one was IrnBru - not sure about that.

    Think the van we were talking about mostly has traditional flavours, my fave is strawberry though vanilla is yum too ;).

    My mum had the tablet one on Saturday :) She said there were bits of tablet in it that melted as she was eating them. She loves toffee but struggles with her teeth so this was a great alternative :D

    I’d intended trying tablet on my trip last week as I’ve only heard of it on these threads, but remembered when I was at home watching country file last night. Ahh well...a good excuse to go back to Bonnie Scotland in the future.....

    New to living in Scotland err 5 years now? I've never heard of Lucas ice cream but will now be in red alert!

    Have just been on a trip down memory lane to where I used to spend my hols in France as a child. Thought I'd be nostalgic but I liked it and felt happy.

    Hope you enjoy your birthday x
